Running Miles	Swimming Yards	Bike Miles
8.00	0.00	0.00

AM - 6 miles, JAJA. My legs feel downright springy.

PM - 2 miles with 4x200m @ MP. Some new additions to the elite fields for Sunday. A 2:12 guy and 60-flat guy. I think its safe to say I'm gonna be letting that lead pack do their own thing. I'm racing the clock!

Last night we went to the USATF banquet - Andrea and I were the guest speakers, which was a very nice honor. We sat at the kids table with Allie and James. It was awesome to feel such genuine support from so many other people... we know we have a lot of people pulling for us this weekend, and that is a really good feeling.

In the raffle I won a free entry into the Ogden Marathon! The chances that I would actually run a spring marathon in 2012 are about 0.001% (or less). But as Emily said, I can probably make a lot of money selling that bib :-)

I wasn't kidding about the kids' table. They even gave us chalk. Here is some of the artwork...

Allie drew this...

And James counted with this...

haha, kids table. That's awesome. I'd feel right at home there.

Good luck this weekend, don't think you really need it though.

How much for the Ogden Bib?

From Jake K on Thu, Nov 17, 2011 at 10:34:22 from 155.100.226.53

Haha I don't know if its transferable. I basically have a piece of scrap paper that says "free ogden entry" on it. They say its official though!

How come you didn't post your moose-dog? I was the only normal one at the table!

The picture of MooseDog came out blurry!

Jake and Andrea, we're all pulling for you this weekend. I can't wait to see the results.

Good Luck.. Let it Roll and you'll Rock it.

moosedog was the best artwork on the table. our pictures were extremely disturbing, although i'm glad you got documentation -- my psychiatrist will be impressed.

i hope you guys have a great time in philly. you are definitely ready for this. you both looked energized and springy this morning. best of luck. i'm all signed up to receive text updates -- looking forward to my first one at about 5:33am. that will at least get me out of bed to track the rest of the race online. i expect that you will be updating your twitter account throughout. "just had a cheesesteak at mile 4. rolling now. literally."

I wish I could have heard you guys speak. I bet it was great.

You know exactly what you are capable of so definitely run your own race. You might feel great towards the end and suprise yourself.

I can't believe I will be waking up at the butt crack of dawn on a Sunday to track you guys. ha ha! Do it for me. :)

Good Luck Jake!!

From Jake K on Fri, Nov 18, 2011 at 11:17:03 from 155.100.226.53

Thanks everyone. I'll make sure not to go out too hard... I'd feel bad if the text updates went out at 5:32am. That's hardly enough sleep for a Sunday morning. 5:33 it will be!

From Bam on Fri, Nov 18, 2011 at 11:32:49 from 86.42.123.219

Good luck to both you and Andrea. Enjoy the day and the ice cream after the race.
